I mean… A lot of my vocabulary is anti-human, too. Its believable enough to make me wonder.

its actually funny, I think she made fun of the police for being fascists.

I’m pretty sure the people who still use Twitter use it for the drama. Mastodon and Bluesky just aren’t as spicy to them. Hell, Mastodon takes setting up to even get anything interesting.

I’m sure you’ve heard this but just to reiterate, I’m super excited for this and I’m proud of you

Awesome! I’ll be checking it out, I love live streams and hate Twitch, got burnt out of the platform after watching for ~8 years.

Talked about linux in discord the other day and all the linux people were fucking annoying as shit about it

No I think twitch hosts all kinds of livestreams and hides behind the ides that they are all about gaming. Twitch maintains more style than other social media, but its just monopolizing one kind of social media post. Live streams.

Um. Why? I think Walmart and college football are both highly profitable and abusive enough that federal regulation should be hitting their business practices. But Twitter and twitch? Pre-elon, I think they both had an effective monopoly on their markets but weren’t visibly abusing that monopoly. They are, but its just not that damaging.

I wonder if it would be advantageous to make a community about live streaming now that Twitch has finally grown out of being a gaming platform. Justin TV was so much more diverse, live streams are so much more than just Twitch and the meta there. Edit: how some people feel about twitter is how I feel about Twitch. A company is making a genre of media uninteresting to me.

Who cares

This is exciting it just probably hasnt come to fruition this quarter. And businesses that are succeeding with AI dont really need to brag about it in the news. (Amazon?)

A few times a month, please

OH. Thanks! Jeez my reading comprehension really did screw up on that.

Yes the comment literally says “polished from day 1” 🤔 and mine explains that the game has been being polished regularly for months.

Which is great, it’s cool to see a GOTY level game come out and its even better to know what a GOTY game looks like - not perfect on launch, but immediately receiving the necessary fixes.

Dude this is only like 10 years too late. Youtubers deserve comorehensive moderation and curstion tools. Youtube comments should be at the forefront of video discussion.

Don’t say that! The devs have been fastidiously fixing bugs. Thousands. And there have been a few Quality of Life changes / additions.

Okay, so… I just conceded that I can’t define spyware, and you’re accusing me of moving the goalposts over it but I think Ive given ground.
I have not ever brought up the privacy policy.

I stand by my point that security flaws are of strategic benefit to the powers that be. We can’t assume what shareholders want other than money. Yeah most of the exploits that were publicized were pretty basic and easy to avoid. These exploits are fundamentally discords fault that they were around so long, so easy to employ, etc.

Looking into it, I found those malicious scripts on google on the first page… Discord could have issued takedown requests to google and Github. When a company is so large, laziness is malice. Someone said “no, don’t fix that.” ha that’s the scare-pasta you brought up, isn’t it? Ah well.

You’re asking me to consider that discord is just doing what everyone else is doing and doing what its told by shareholders, who want a perfect and safe platform. You’re not asking me to change my mind, but actually make my arguments weaker. To moderate them. No thanks, I find the sharpest point to be more useful than a dull one.

Of course! Hope you’re all good, too. Getting on with the replies I’m thinking like… Damn I use discord everyday, I use discord and occasionally talk to people who still use Twitter (X)… Ha. 🤷‍♀️
Will I ever stop using Discord?

I think what you’ve said is brilliantly put.

Idk what the bar is for spyware but Ill be specific about my belief: discord is basically the most red flags of any social media and also has the facade of a very private and personal space.

On reddit you can simply use a tampermonkey script to remove your data. On discord, there is no option to delete all your messages. To the extent that there’s a discussion worth having about whether Discord is following the GDPR.

Not tackling security issues means discord is okay with third parties exploiting the software to gain info about certain users - which could include hacker groups or government actors targeting single targets.

I dont think discord can give individual messages over, legally, although they are stored unencrypted on Discord’s server.
